Mayor/City Council

The Veneta City Council consists of a mayor and four councilors nominated and elected from the city at large, or, in the case of one or more vacancies in the council, the council members whose offices are not vacant. At each biennial general election, two council positions are voted on, each for a four-year term.

The current Veneta mayor and councilors are:
Sharon Hobart-Hardin, Mayor
T. J. Brooker, Councilor (appointed to the vacancy left by Sharon Hobart-Hardin, term expires 12/31/2010)
Darrell Carman, Councilor (term expires 12/31/2010)
Marion Esty, Councilor (term expires 12/31/2012)
Sandra Larson, Councilor (term expires 12/31/2012)
The mayor and councilors can be reached by calling City Hall at (541) 935-2191.

The Veneta City Council meets every second and fourth Mondays of the month at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, 88184 8th Street. Meetings are open to the public.

The concurrence of a majority of the members of the council present at a council meeting shall be necessary to decide any question before the council. The City may exercise fully all of its powers possible under United States and Oregon Law.

Except as otherwise prescribed in the City of Veneta Charter, and as the Oregon Constitution reserves municipal legislative power to the voters of the city, all powers of the city are vested in the Council.

The duties of the Mayor include:

  1. Appointing member of committees established by council rules;
  2. Appointing other persons required by the council to be so appointed;
  3. Shall have no veto power and shall sign all ordinances passed by the council within 3 days after their passing;
  4. The Mayor presides over deliberations of the council, preserves order, enforces council rules and determines the order of business under the rules; and
  5. The Mayor is a voting member of the council.
